Fashionably McFancy

I love fashion. I really do. But, I don't love Fashion Week in NY this time of year. It's always so cold. There's dirty snow and ice on the streets making it impossible to successfully wear suede shoes. Most of all, it's hard to get cabs anywhere near the tents - forcing you to stand in the cold (see a theme here?). This year though I'm more excited than normal. Why? For McDonald's of course. Yes, you read that right. McDonald's is bringing us pop up locations with high-end style that I just can't wait to see!

Here's a description taken from the Access Agency's blog (the brains behind it).

"McFancy, an upmarket temporary McDonald’s store that launches at Fashion Weeks around the globe — London, New York, Paris, Milan, Sydney, Hong Kong. McFancy is part art installation, gathering spot and, of course, a restaurant that offers a traditional McDonald’s menu but packaged in a way that makes a playful yet stylish nod to the lifestyle of the highly desirable, influential consumers that attend Fashion Weeks. Waiters in tuxedos, silver service, private dining areas, and packaging co-created with the fashion brands that present at Fashion Week — Burberry burgers, Chanel fries on black packaging, Paul Smith Sundaes…A bit of fun among the serious business of fashion. A bite of comfort food among all the elaborate cocktail fare, Private dining rooms, a raised catwalk that winds around the perimeter of the space, and with a central bar area providing a dramatic focal point. The ceiling is constructed from stretched fabric, ribbed to provide articulation and define zones. The form of the ceiling is accentuated through the use of LED lighting."
